How can you participate in our club?

NAB AFL Auskick: the best start to your child's AFL journey - where your 5-12 year old boys and girls will learn and develop the fundamental skills of the game in a fun, safe and exciting environment.

Roy's Junior Footy Program: a fun program for 5-7 year old boys and girls that considers the maturity level of their motor, cognitive, social and emotional skills to further learn and develop the fundamental skills of the game.

Junior Football: for boys and girls aged 7.5-11, junior footy is the first stage to participate in a team competition. Children play under the AFL Junior match policy, providing modified rules including modified ground sizes, team numbers and the laws of the game to introduce skills of the game to our boys and girls in a low pressure environment. The emphasis is not on winning but the development of FUNdamental movement skills, basic game specific skills and maximum participation in a fun and safe environment.

Youth Football: for boys and girls aged 12-17, An ideal progression from either NAB AFL Auskick or AFL Junior, AFL Youth provides boys and girls with the opportunity to play in a graded competition within a club environment.
